Visual Arts :: Janet Cardiff: The Forty Part Motet
The Forty Part Motet is an exceptional Festival experience seamlessly blending art forms to bring history and the present together with beguiling simplicity.
Pre-eminent contemporary installation artist Janet Cardiff creates sound as architecture in her interpretive re-working of music and voice by Renaissance master Thomas Tallis. In a room where 40 individual speakers stand like sentinels on the circumference, visitors are transfixed by the experience offered through the rich crafting of sound and space.
Critically acclaimed around the world The Forty Part Motet is an experience of rare intensity not to be missed.
